The Switchbak Harness has the padded comfort of an everyday dog harness with handle, plus the bonus functionality carrying small essentials. The two low-profile zippered pockets have room to stash those day-to-day necessities like pick-up bags, a leash, or some treats.

It features two leash attachment options: a V-ring centered on the back and a reinforced webbing loop at the chest, great for redirecting dogs that pull on leash. Dial in the right fit with high adjustability and a padded belly strap - critical for stable gear carry and when giving a little boost with the low-profile handle. All in all, the Switchbak melds comfort and convenience into a performance harness ready for both town and trail.

    Excellent Dog Backapack

    This backpack fit my dog perfectly. She's a 42 lbs Lab mix, and she loves the harness backpack! The blue color goes great with her coat color and has great storage for hiking goods. She is a size medium in the Ruffwear harness as well so the sizing translated perfectly to this.

    Great Harness

    Pup feels much more comfortable in this than other harnesses, really love how i’m actually able to pick him up with the handle and he doesn’t mind at all. Storage pouches work great for poop bags!

    Pocketed harness.

    We think of this harness as an everyday carry tool, for my dogs EDC needs.
